Abstract: Pursuant to the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 USC 635, et seq.), the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), facilitates the finance of the export of U.S. goods and services by providing insurance or guarantees to U.S. exporters or lenders financing U.S. exports. By neutralizing the effect of export credit insurance or guarantees offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept, Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. In the event that a borrower defaults on a transaction insured or guaranteed by Ex-Im Bank, the insured or guaranteed exporter or lender may seek payment from Ex-Im Bank by the submission of a claim. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 12 USC 635 (a)(1), to determine if such claim complies with the terms and conditions of the relevant insurance policy or guarantee, as the case may be. Ex-Im Bank offers guarantees of principal and interest on floating or fixed-rate loans by eligible lenders to creditworthy buyers of U.S. goods and services in order to help U.S. exporters compete against suppliers in other countries offering officially supported export credits and fill gaps in the availability of private export financing. The guarantees cover the repayment risks on the foreign buyer's debt obligations. Ex-Im Bank guarantees that, in the event of a payment default by the borrower, it will repay to the lender the outstanding principal and interest on the loan. The foreign buyer is required to make at least a 15 percent cash payment. Ex-Im Bank's comprehensive guarantee covers 100 percent of the commercial and political risks. Guarantees covering only specified political risks are also available.
